173561P.pdf   11/09/2018  Michael Croyle  v.  United States
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-3561
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Loken and Shepherd, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Federal Tort Claims Act. In action alleging the government 
   negligently supervised a priest hired to provide services at Tripler Army 
   Medical Center and failed to warn plaintiff of the priest's sexual 
   propensities, the district court did not err in determining the United 
   States was entitled to sovereign immunity under the discretionary function 
   exception; the decision whether to warn of the priest's sexual 
   propensities or take other action to restrict his contact with children 
   was susceptible to policy analysis; balancing safety, reputational 
   interests and confidentiality is the kind of determination the 
   discretionary function exception was designed to shield.
